CHICAGO, November 12.-At 10 o. CLOCK
this morning the cssket containing
the body of Fischer was taken to the
home of his wife. Around the house
was a great crowd of women and
children. Mrs. Fischer was at the
house of one of the neighbors when the
body of her husband arrived. But as
soon as it was carried into the house
she was escorted there by two female
friends. She was suffering greatly and
her actions were somewhat hysterical.
She stopped occasionally and threw her
friends and wept bitterly.
The doors and windows of Chris
Spies house, where the body of the
dead Anarchist les were barred and
would not be opened for anyone.
Long strips of white and black Grape
swung from the door bell. AT the top
of the symbols of mourning was a
large black rosette, also made of Grape,
from the middle of which streamers of
red ribbon huttered. From the mo-
ment the dead body arrived the house
has been surrounded by crowd of in
quisitive spectators, who were anxious
| to get look at the dead mans face.
Nobody was grati6ed. $50
At Parsons house, when the body
was brought in Mrs. Parsons acted very
wildly, and when the cover was taken
from the coffin she rushad in and threw
herself bodily upon ths coffin and fell
| in a faint upon the floor be-
fore friends could catch her. AS
soon as Mrs. Parsons had recovered,
sufficiently to walk she ran again to her
dead, crying and calling his name
| 80,
touched the face of her husband. This
time friends carried her away, and
would not let her see the corpse again.
At the no re of Engel there has been
solemn throng passing in and out
since morning The door of the little
cigar store, which Mrs. Engel has man
aged since the arrest of her husband,
was draped in mourning. In the back
room lay the bodies of Llngg and En-
gel. The haggard face of Mrs. Engel
as she passed through the room fire.
quently, was pitiful.
ENGEL AND LINGe's CoRPsEs.
The bodies of Engel and Lingg were
in their collins and no one was permit
ted to take more than one look as he
passed along. That portion of
Lingg's face which was shattered by the
Illuminating cap, had been filed up
with chemicals, and plaster of paris.
A bandage hid the wound from gaze.
Otherwise, the face was well preserved.
In the frown of the brow there was q
trace of the awful determination
which must have nerved the bomb
maker to place the candle in his mouth.
The dull CLEAN Of that elaring eye was
still preserved between the half-parted
eye-lid. Engel's face was as calm and
Indifferent as when he-stoOd on the
scaffold yesterday. Hardly one out OF
\ twenty who went into Engel's store to
/ view his remains spoke their minds IN
English.
A HUGE PROCESSION.
In Grief's Hall, 81 West Lake Street,
the very building where the dynamite
throwing was planned the night before
! the massacre at the Haymarket, a
meeting was held tonight, by the Cen
| tral Labor Union, TO make arrange
ments for attending the funeral or the
| five dead Anarchists. 1t was resolved
to call out the members of every branch
organization. This, if fully obeyed,
would imply a procession tomorrow
of nearly Is, 600 men. In Grief's saloon,
below the hall where the meeting was
held, motley crowd was collected, dis
cussing the funeral programme and the
events of which it is the result. Por-
traits of the Anarchists draped in
mourning, hung on the wall and many
of those present wore Grape on their
hats. Great regret, not to say lndlgna-
ton, found expression at the fact that
nothing would be allowed in the cortege
bearing the semblance to red flag.
| Tho
mourner to be looked for, above all
at the home of August Spies, was miss
ing this afternoon. Among the throng
Eof, Weeping Wo Gen and stern-looklng
mem there was no sign of Nina, the
proxy wife. Captain Black was there,
careworn, but impressive. In reply to
a question by an As ociaIed Press re-
porter, the Anarchists lawyer said,
earnestly: -, s-. z .-s.-
No, Nina is not here, she is -

in my heart she was. So far as can
learn, Nina has not uttered one cry or
1 shed single tear. I fear she cannot
do it.
Captain Black said he would make an
address at the funeral Tomorrow.
Whatev speaking is to be done will be
done at the graves. The disposition is
to select only conservative men as
speakers, those who w!Iiaonfiae their
words to the praise and beauty vi those
mems lives, and an explanation of
their principles No one will be Sc
lected to drive the people frantic.
1t was definitely decided, this after
noon, that the remains of August Spies
should not be laid in state in Aurora
Turn Hall tomorrow. State Repre-
sentative Frank Stsuber, who is at the
head of the committee of arrange
ments, says the refusal to allow the
remains in the hall was due to the fear
of the owners that the police would re-
woke their license to sell liquors in case
it should be done. This the owners
deny.
The question of the primary disposal
of the dead Anarchists was settled this
